Preparing Leaders for the 21st Century and Beyond
The Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program is designed to build a multidisciplinary community of Stanford graduate students dedicated to finding creative solutions to the world's greatest challenges.
As a Knight-Hennessy Scholar you will develop both the depth and range of subject expertise to confront the numerous grand challenges and opportunities of the future. You will be part of a unique community of change agents from a diverse range of backgrounds. This is a community that will support you, motivate you, and hold you accountable for achieving your goals even when the odds of success seem likely against you.
Funding
The Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program at Stanford University is the world's largest fully endowed scholars program. Of the $750 million endowment, more than 85 percent directly supports the graduate education and living expenses of the Scholars.
Financial Support for Full Cost of Attendance
The education of Knight-Hennessy Scholars is fully funded for any graduate degree at Stanford. The Knight-Hennessy Scholars program funds up to the first three years of your graduate education, and if your degree program exceeds three years - such as an MD or PhD program, or a Stanford dual- or joint-degree program - then your Stanford home department(s) will fund the remainder of your education to the extent consistent with its standard funding commitment for that program. (That means, for example, six years for PhDs in education, five years for PhDs in humanities,)
As a Knight-Hennessy Scholar at Stanford University, you receive:
a fellowship applied directly to cover your tuition and associated fees; health insurance and associated fees; and
a generous stipend comprising your on-campus room and board; books, supplies, and instructional materials; travel to and from Stanford; local transportation; and reasonable personal expenses.
